Kit Walker was one of the inmates of Briarcliff Manor in the second season of every season of American Horror Story is linked together somehow. Given this connection, Death Valley's failure to revisit Kit's story seems like a major missed opportunity.

Both seasons focused around alien abductions and pregnancies, yet the seasons didn’t relate or make reference to each other whatsoever. For many viewers, it seemed like such a waste to have a full 4-episode season all about aliens without referencing what had happened beforehand. The decision left many open questions about the show, such as what happened to Kit Walker when he was abducted by aliens and whether the aliens in Death Valley the same from Asylum. Not addressing these issues when there was such an obvious opportunity seems like an oversight from two of AHS most interconnected stories.

Kit Walker Was Abducted By Aliens In AHS: Asylum But Wasn’t Mentioned At All In Death Valley

Death Valley Had A Chance To Revisit The Asylum Subplot

Kit’s storyline in Asylum was pretty complicated. First his wife, Alma, was abducted by aliens, and then his girlfriend. When they both returned, they were pregnant. After they gave birth, there wasn’t much extraterrestrial activity until Kit was nearing death, when the aliens came back to Earth to take him away, never to be seen again. When Death Valley was announced to be a season all about aliens, it was assumed that the season would focus on any unanswered questions surrounding Kit, such as why he was abducted at the end of Asylum and what happened to him.

As the women in Kit’s life were abducted and soon returned to Earth pregnant, this would have been the perfect opportunity to bring back Kit...

It wasn’t just Kit that wasn’t mentioned, nothing that happened at all during the events of Asylum were mentioned in Death Valley. This made no sense in of Death Valley as a season. The season was all about aliens abducting and impregnating humans to try and create the perfect human-alien hybrid. As the women in Kit’s life were abducted and soon returned to Earth pregnant, this would have been the perfect opportunity to bring back Kit and fully explain his storyline.

American Horror Story Season 10's Ending Complicates The Outcome Of Asylum

Forgetting About The Aliens In Asylum Created Lots Of Plotholes In Death Valley

At the end of Asylum, the aliens allow Kit to live a long, peaceful life on Earth before abducting him and saving him from death. Without returning to this plot point in Death Valley, it complicates Asylum’s ending. Viewers have no idea why Kit was abducted by aliens, why he was so special or why it was his wife and girlfriend that were abducted in Asylum. The subplot just creates more questions than it answers, and it feels like it lacks depth and explanation.

Asylum as both Alma and Grace were pregnant when the aliens released them. These children just grew up and lived their lives like nothing happened. However, in Death Valley, the aliens would kill any children that weren’t the perfect human-alien hybrid species. Therefore, the survival of Kit’s children made no sense at the end of American Horror Story season 2, unless the show planned on bringing them back at some point. Ultimately, it didn’t make sense for the show to have a story about aliens and ignore all the extra-terrestrial events that happened before it.
